Tierra del Sol Resort & Golf

The windy conditions impacted play much more than. Ii estimatedg. Use a lot more club a knock your shot down against the wind.

This was the third time playing this course. I played it first in January of 2022 and it was quite dry. This year 100% improved, fairways were moist and the rough was treacherous. Which is the way a links course should be. The greens are slow, only one putted three times. Last year the water hazard on 15 was all dried up, this year completely full of water. It’s always windy so enjoy it when it’s at you back.

Don’t expect a lush course in good condition. It’s impossible in

Aruba. But if you want spectacular views, challenging conditions and a nice time, this course will do.

Interesting track with the extreme wind, but the conditions and the price makes it about a 3 out fo 10 value. Because it's the only track in town $169 around is extreme. I would rate it at $50 max. I think the scenic value is over rated. Be aware of the daily 25 mpg rain burst, it will wear you out.

The course is situated along the coastline so you get to see the ocean as you play. No chance of hitting the ball out there, it’s not that close.

In decent shape for the climate and the region, but not equal to the standard rate. Played on a hot deal, which was the right choice for me.

Structurally this is a fine course. Windy,, so work on your knockdowns. The problem is that it’s very clear they’re suffering economically, and unless you get the $65-$95 Hot Deal pricing you’re overpaying for sure. Greens are horribly slow, and are literally as thick as a fairway on a US course. Many greens have other issues as well, so don’t expect to score well that way. But I love hitting it around this course, it’s fun, at $95 or less.

There was a problem with not having enough golf carts for the players. We had to use carts that were not fully charged for our round. Several players carts stopped working on the course. They definitely need more golf carts when they have that many golf tee times for one day.

A picture perfect course layout and location. I love playing this course.

The golf carts are so old the parking brake doesn’t hold the cart on any type of hill. Apparently they just started working on the sand traps. They are way overloaded with sand. The machine they used to rake some them left huge rows of sand. Some had huge tire marks from the machine they used to fill them. They should have made them all ground under repair. Also seems they haven’t mowed the rough in awhile. Thankfully i got in on a hot deal. I would have been pretty upset at paying full price. I played the divi links which was in much better shape thou pricy.

Thunderstorms chased us off course. Someone should have signaled weather alarm. Some sand traps were filled with water. Rental clubs were only fair. Still layout was great, interesting holes. Greens were okay.

Played Tierra Del Sol twice during our visit to Aruba, 10/28 and 10/31. The 1st round the wind was down, which is rare, while the 2nd round it was howling as expected. Overall the layout is interesting with some very good holes. Fairways are generous due to the prevailing winds. Conditions were average to good, nothing special. A bit rough around the edges. Greens were on the slow slide which took some getting used to,. While not the most pristine course it was still quite enjoyable to play.

The course has a great lay out but very poorly maintained
